As you use each of these files,I suggest you use a working copy,so that you may revert easily back to the originalif you need to.To make a working copy of an Xcode projectcopy the entire folder that contains the project.You may easily create a working copyby holding down the Option key while dragginga file or folder to an empty space in the folder.I usually then rename it to something like -working.Once you've made your working copy,you may open the project with Xcodeby double clicking on the .xcode project filewithin the project folder.

This will open the project in Xcode.When you're done with the exerciseyou may delete the working copy.Or you may keep it for further studyand experimentation.There's also a folder called Assetswith the images used in the Xcode projectsfor this course.For those who are wondering,this photo, which is used in the exclusion paths exampleis a photo of a Bangkok train station.I took this photo on a recent vacation in Thailand.All of these files are original works that I created,and you're welcome to use any of themin your own projects.
